Look over the more rare kinds of herbaceous plants, either dividing or puttingin cuttings of those which are in danger of being lost from getting too old andworn out, and which could not be divided in Spring. Many of the more rare Alpine plants may also be divided and re-potted afterthey have done flowering. Annuals may still be sown for flowering late in the Autumn. It is now a good time for laying the young wood of Clematises and other plantsthat root best from the young wood.
